IMO, the LDS church is using the mormon-muslim connection Link in the hopes that mormons will be the last ones beheaded.
Theology Is Not the Common Ground
Despite some arguable similarities in doctrine and practice, there is no apparent theological basis for the deepening ties between American Muslims and Mormons.
Maybe the lds/muslim partnerships in getting aid to the stricken is an example of what it means to be a good Samaritan? Again, I'm sure a starving child doesn't care whether it was a muslim or a mormon who brought them a meal.
